Well Crafted A Record Store and Brewery Walk

Chicago, IL

Meet up with other craft beer and music lovers to chat about favorite your pours and to pour over your favorite records! Each month we will meet at a local record store at 6:30pm to check out vinyl and other record store treasures. Then at close (typically 7pm) we will take a leisurely stroll to a nearby brewery to continue on the good vibes. Share your perspectives on drinks and music and hear a unique perspective from others - it's a great way to make friends by doing the things you already love doing. Bring a good sense of humor and an open mind. Oh, and dress for the weather. This is not a fitness walk, it's a social activity and a chance to check out some drinks and music in the company of good people. Well supervised kids and dogs may be welcome - please contact both the brewery and the record store to confirm. We will continue to meet and walk in the winter and the locations will be carefully selected to minimize outdoor time.

Prairie Club of Chicagoland Activities Group

Outdoor activities and conservation have been core values for the Prairie Club since its inception. The Prairie Club played a prominent role in the establishment of the Cook County Forest Preserve system, the Indiana Dunes State Park, and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. In addition to weekend hiking, we will offer opportunities for canoeing/kayaking, and bicycling events during the year.

Active 20-30 Somethings In The NW Burbs

Vernon Hills, IL

Est. May 2019, this group is for those in their 20’s and 30’s who love being social and are looking to build genuine friendships. This group is about getting out and being social whether it’s conversing over dinner and drinks, or meeting up at a local festival. It doesn’t matter if you’re a 20 something professional, or a stay at home dad, come out and mingle! Please note that hate and negativity have no place in this Meetup :). We try to adjust events according to the seasons, so expect a wide range of events as the year progresses For MOST events, we will be keeping the attendee limit at 10 or less so that we can actually get to know each other instead of getting lost in the chaos of a larger group. IF I have opened up the RSVP's to larger groups, it is because I know from experience that that specific event can be run smoothly with more attendees. ‼️Please note that we have a strict 3-strikes policy for no-shows, as we give ample time to update RSVP’s and provide reminders the week prior. Cancellations made without at least 24 hours notice may be considered a “no-show” per organizers’ discretion. This is to ensure that people on the waitlist who truly want to attend have the chance to do so, and we always want to be courteous when reservations are involved.‼️
